[asterisk-users] Asterisk on a MiniITX board+Atom1.6 2gb+Sangoma USB?

[Veselin K]

Thank you Michael,
Any advise on how to design my setup to avoid transcoding?

Maybe:

Incoming: PSTN -alaw-> Asterisk -alaw-> SIP Phone
Outgoing: SIP Phone -alaw-> Asterisk -alaw-> IAX2 Provider

Am I understanding this correctly?
As long as the phone uses the same codec as the PSTN/IAX2 providers,
then Asterisk should not need to transcode?

Regards,
Veselin K
